Animal sculptures

Photo installation of unicorns and horses in the garden.
In the mythology the unicorn is often associated as a symbol for the fight of the light with the darkness. In many cultures of the earth the horse with the mighty horn stands on the forehead, strongest, most unstoppable all animal creatures, symbolically for an apparently irrepressible challenge. We have to do the challenge, naturalistic plants, accepted.
So conduced the
horse form in the "change process" as the basis for the development of the running horse on skids.
The racing horse was developed by Henning in about 200-hour working hours.

From the minne poetry it is reported about the unicorn: Only if it sees a pure virgin, it becomes tame and lies down.

With some plants, like the racing horse on skids, the working process about different stages of development applies. Every step for himself, would be worth basically already of the preservation. However, where no destruction, there also no fresh start. If one it with one Seminal grain collates whose death and departure allows only new life.
A such change process also has the small one, standing horse form experienced.
From this model there incurred the small, jumping unicorn. Produced from sheet steel and conductors welded to a hollow body and with atmospheric pressure modeled, polished as well as weld-surfaced.

The horses also even today her place in the company have, we see alone in the fact that we describe our transport vehicle still in horse power.

Beside the technique Converting we also work with other smiths and production procedures.
Possibly to the air pressure modelling procedure which enables it to us to construct unicorns and horse sculptures feathery.
How far would be the "Progress" Without which horse come? When you consider that rising into the Industrial Age to settle on the back of the horses cleared became.
Positive deduction of the standing unicorn. Over a horse form which exists of different fragments becomes, on this occasion, in to several working steps, the sheet steel hammered. The positive impression him, besides, incurred, is cut out from this form and the single segments at last joined.
The standing unicorn is one of the plants which incurred in this technique.

Horse form for steel and copper unicorns.
Steel unicorn and copper unicorn about the horse form fortified with manganese steel pulled.

We plan by means of this technique to build a horse, more exactly even, Pegasus, which we then really in the sky can allow to climb up.

Copper art. Copper sculpture unicorn.
Sheet copper and sheet steel in the vacuum about a welded steel horse form models. Brazed, soft-soldered, welded, bright lustre-polished and decorates with annealing colours.
When once on an exhibition a copper smith's master saw the copper unicorn, this said such a thing he would not have seen in his life yet and how we would have made this fine.
Carrier of the abstract unicorn.

3. The finished product. Steel sculpture: Abstract unicorn. Technique: Welded sheet steel with annealing colors. Fine grind and varnishes with 2K clear varnish.

Swinging sculpture unicorn.
Unicorn on skids swinging. Meditation object. The concave form is filled partly with siliceous sand to change the oscillation amplitude of the swinging steel horse by misalignment of the centre of mass. Illuminated by coloured lights, the light on the whole body surface of the unicorn bundles up itself and throws back by the oscillation on the viewer a luminous, light cone. Light bath.

Sheet steel about form forged.

In the 12th century dschingis Khan with his rider's hordes on the back of her horses conquered a mighty empire which applied from the China Sea up to the borders of Europe. By the force of the horse the person overcame the distances and conquered the big spaces.

Horse forms.
By surface welding and fine-grinding modeled horse forms.

Horse portraits commissioned work.
Naturalistic oil-paintings on canvas. In 2007.
animal portraits after photo on inquiry.
Birds and bats.
Here the empire of the beings of the sky begins.
Hennings the first bird's head studies go back till 1989.

Milan.
This Milan is drawn with Hammer impact and thereby received
his typical surface.
Turret falcon.Bats.
Chiropterans, Vespertilio, flight mouse. Nightshade enthusiasts and chiroptera
Dolphins.
In the faith of the old people the dolphin stood for the vitality of the sea:
Water - thalassa - as a spring of the life. delphys gr. Computer word
for dolphin, is used with the computer word delphi's , womb.

Cupid is probably the best known, the gods who ride a dolphin!

The dolphin, the friend of the people. Rescuer of the person from sea need.
(And if not from sea need, then rescue of the soul welfare.)
Only short time we put to ourselves the question, whether dolphins and whales in her manner possibly
are as intelligent, how we ourselves. Most lines of thought
assume from the fact, that the person because he EARTHS supposedly as the only living being on that
in the possession of a rational intelligence is, the summit of the creation
explains.
